Valuetainment - ＂Hostile & Political Act＂ - Amazon SLAMMED For Forcing Trump Tariff Prices On ALL Products

00:00:00.000 did you hear what just happened with uh amazon what amazon did today uh they announced that

00:00:04.980 they're going to be displaying the tariff costs to consumers and look what amazon's uh stock just

00:00:11.080 went and dropped today that's amazon today well rob i sent you the link of carolyn levitt pat

00:00:16.860 if it's okay she just announced what uh a hostile political act amazon just did i sent it that's

00:00:23.600 it can we play this go robbie perfect crystal clear demonstration that it's the american consumer

00:00:29.360 and not china who is going to have to pay for these policies i will uh take this since i just

00:00:36.020 got off the phone with the president about amazon's announcement uh this is a hostile and political

00:00:41.480 act by amazon why didn't amazon do this when the biden administration hiked inflation to the highest

00:00:48.180 level in 40 years and i would also add that uh it's not a surprise because as reuters recently wrote

00:00:55.040 amazon amazon has partnered with a chinese propaganda arm weird so this is another reason

00:01:00.900 why americans should buy american it's another reason why we are on shoring critical supply

00:01:06.340 chains here at home to shore up our own critical supply chain uh and just minutes ago walmart announces

00:01:13.060 that they'll be expanding support for american-made products they said uh their goal is to make it

00:01:17.460 easier for u.s-based entrepreneurs to navigate the complexities of retail and bring their products

00:01:22.260 to a national stage that's amazon's reply because of what's happening uh with just add to like to adam

00:01:28.420 that's that i mean i would say there's a little bit of statistical bias in that in that the people

00:01:32.620 who are going to have the luxury of answering that poll question it's like yes monday afternoon yeah

00:01:37.180 bring back jobs but i don't want them uh so i would say even the bias in that poll might be indicative

00:01:41.260 of the discrepancy the luxury of having a phone well but yeah pretty much and and the time to take a

00:01:45.740 poll everyone's got a phone flip side though i mean that position of like you know you'll outsource the

00:01:50.860 menial jobs is sort of like outsourcing modern day slavery it's the same excuse people have to like

00:01:55.260 you know get low skilled immigrants in to say who's gonna who's gonna just went like this so we are

00:02:00.780 now vinnie you went to this story and viva still on the old story watching this is so confused right

00:02:05.920 now what's going on because he's gonna see this clip but i get the point you're making so let's stay

00:02:10.160 on this here now since vinnie just did that rob go a little bit lower so walmart is saying what here

00:02:14.500 they're saying walmart is expanding support for american-made products through this new program to help

00:02:19.080 small businesses and retailer share exclusive access today why it matters the growing pipeline

00:02:23.340 to have more items made in the u.s can help insulate the world's largest retailer consumer

00:02:27.800 and the effects of tariffs and trade war the big picture walmart announced a new grow with u.s

00:02:32.280 program and share details of the upcoming 2025 open call to make it easier for u.s-based entrepreneurs

00:02:37.520 to navigate complexities and retail from we anticipate thousands of small businesses will take advantage

00:02:43.240 of free so they are doing this on the backs of amazon making a dumb mistake go back to amazon stock

00:02:53.480 don't go on the picture that you posted rob just go to stocks type in amazon stock today let's see what

00:02:59.240 the stock looks like five percent if you go today so it shows it's up

00:03:05.960 so that's today might have been that dip at the end there but patrick no the way this the way these

00:03:14.040 two stories overlap now is that walmart is basically saying look we we want to bring back manufacturing

00:03:19.440 there will be people who want those jobs i the thing i hate about walmart is specifically buying cheap

00:03:23.820 made in china crap and there is you know i'm for me it's fishing rods and tackle like that's what i get

00:03:28.100 at walmart all made in china or wherever you know overseas and it's crap there are american options

00:03:34.240 they cost a little more and i think those who have the means or the ability would be more than

00:03:38.200 happy to pay a made in america premium to get stuff made in america and if walmart facilitates that

00:03:43.220 it'll bring back manufacturing jobs and create jobs for those who would be proud to have them

00:03:47.560 while also decoupling from countries that are either adversarial or may become adversarial go a little

00:03:53.020 bit more on what happened with amazon rob could just go on x and see what else you find like what did

00:03:57.780 amazon just do amazon tariffs type in amazon tariffs and see if what the latest is one hour ago instead

00:04:08.180 of attacking president trump with their tariff pricing model why doesn't amazon promote a label to identify

00:04:13.680 products that are actually made in america okay that's town hall go a little bit lower to display

00:04:19.900 tariff costs to consumers amazon doesn't want to shoulder the blame for the cost of trump's trade war

00:04:24.700 so the e-commerce giant will soon show how much trump's tariffs are adding to the price of each

00:04:28.860 product who thought that was a good idea you tell yeah holy smokes amazon stock is plummeting after the

00:04:35.260 white house called him out for display of this that was one hour ago that's five dollars it drops

00:04:40.820 five on 188 is like 2.7 percent go a little bit lower 2.7 percent is still a lot so this is caro

00:04:48.660 we just watched this one and how long ago is that rob uh that was

00:04:54.140 can you go in the comment section can you go in the comment section go a little bit lower

00:04:57.500 if you could so amazon is going to feel the results of this it's time to butt light amazon

00:05:02.120 they're in bed with china and they've been for a long time amazon has become a dumpster fire anyways

00:05:06.060 it abuses u.s postal service to make billions its prime membership keeps rising and the products have

00:05:10.440 become almost all chinese bezos is a clown go a little bit lower why won't this won't this make it

00:05:16.360 super easy to know the country of origin which isn't easy amazon playing politics by highlighting

00:05:20.700 tariffs while ignoring the inflation mess under biden is shady uh please stop shopping at amazon

00:05:26.520 uh amazon is being transparent what's wrong with that okay so go to that let's see what people say

00:05:31.460 to that response um transparency is only acceptable if it makes trump's look look good uh nothing wrong

00:05:37.960 with it it's a good idea for the morons who voted for trump to be able to tell how much you're paying

00:05:41.820 for it exactly i would think everyone wants transparency biden's policies spiked inflation which impacts the cost

00:05:48.100 of goods why didn't amazon show this impact this is just a political hit job working with a chinese

00:05:52.400 pro go to jeff bezos to see if he's tweeted anything about this today go to jeff bezos to see if he said

00:05:58.200 anything about this today right there has he tweeted anything he's not like musk no last one was april 14th

00:06:05.000 yeah he's he's just i love this crew he says about the astronaut women that's kind of like why would

00:06:10.800 musk to see if musk has said anything about this that's kind of messed up though right pal like why

00:06:14.560 why he's searching that's not what why why would you do that like that that would be something like

00:06:19.380 that would make china happy wouldn't it if you're if you're posting that how much you guys are gonna

00:06:24.660 have to pay because of trump's tariff this is a it's trying to it is a hit job going after trump

00:06:28.880 it's it's definitely uh it's definitely political i mean but and it was played on both ends where

00:06:34.080 people were trying to talk about the putin inflation in terms of the price of of gas and eggs

00:06:38.460 it's um it's definitely political the only i'm just wondering how they determine the the amount

00:06:43.260 where they put it like is it when you check out they go oh by the way you paid three dollars more

00:06:48.480 because of trump's tariff to i mean it is a good way to let people know that the stuff they're buying

00:06:53.800 is made overseas we just put a made in america and make it the making flags american flags in foreign

00:06:58.460 countries making any country in a foreign country any flag should be illegal yeah i agree there's something

00:07:04.260 going on here and i think it's very very political and i agree with the white house on this this is why

00:07:07.780 wall street journal reported this morning that they did a couple of surveys and prices for the

00:07:14.920 consumer stand up i'm reading yeah keep going tom and prices for consumers for instance they took and

00:07:20.960 did a survey of 10 000 everyday household products sold online by walmart 10 000 of them were surveyed by

00:07:28.880 the journal because they they ran a uh they ran a uh a bot that went in there and did all this

00:07:33.480 the pricing is flat since april 2nd so the armageddon that's on the american people it's not it's not

00:07:40.820 not there at walmart yet the people aren't seeing inflation on walmart because of that

00:07:46.240 and home depot and others said we've removed corporate perks we're trimming costs and we're

00:07:52.640 trying to keep the prices flat to give the president time to get the trade done but president of home

00:07:59.860 depot said ceo home depot said look this status quo can't last forever we need to get the win so to

00:08:05.900 pat's point but he said 15 minutes ago that this could be an a plus in 30 days that's what these

00:08:11.500 people look these are companies that are trying to keep the pain off the american uh consumer that

00:08:17.460 are trying to keep uh prices flat to give the president time to do the right thing which is to get

00:08:24.840 through this trade war and get agreements that are favorable to america and walmart's jumping in saying you

00:08:29.340 know what i'm gonna even buy more products from america that's what we're gonna do here and so i

00:08:34.300 think that that this is really political by amazon because you've got a number this isn't an isolated

00:08:39.560 article they were talking to they talked to home depot they talked they would uh traject data and they

00:08:45.340 went through walmart and they went through it and they said look you know and midwest trading group they

00:08:51.640 talked to cvs they said this stuff is flat right now and so these companies are doing the right thing

00:08:57.980 and should be applauded for trying to hold the line to give the give the administration a harbor

00:09:04.160 to go get these deals done but they got to get some closes on it and they got to get it done and by the

00:09:09.200 way when the president walked in the door the s&p was 59.96 on friday then he was inaugurated on monday

00:09:16.540 and it was 6050 on tuesday morning it's 55 40 right now that's down eight percent and yes that's the

00:09:25.780 worst that's been down since nixon that's eight percent not eighty percent the average president

00:09:31.160 goes up one point two percent so be careful what headlines are being gaslit by the market only need

00:09:37.540 by the way the market is up eight percent the last 10 days so if we had another 10 days and it was back

00:09:42.320 up eight percent oh my gosh it's right back your 401k is right back where it was the day before he was

00:09:47.740 inaugurated so i think there's a lot of stuff going on and i think things like this is political why

00:09:53.300 would you do it and saying because of tariffs here's your pricing this much is because of tariffs when

00:09:58.300 you've got so many other retailers that are out there that haven't moved their pricing because

00:10:02.000 they're trying to get the administration time to get it done such an asshole move it just

00:10:07.940 king of the assholes you know what it is if if you if you do fda that comes out and said moving

00:10:15.360 forward you need to say cigarettes can give you cancer okay i got it guess who needs to do it

00:10:22.640 everybody all right so say say you know the whatever whatever the fda is for business you need to

00:10:31.340 moving forward put on how much you're paying for this product because of tariffs or whatever

00:10:38.100 if it's blanket that the government is making you know a business owner do it cross the board

00:10:46.560 you know i get it you know like you have to play if your erection lasts more than four hours what is

00:10:51.440 a cialis or viagra and any of that stuff tom you know when you have to put that's right if you have

00:10:56.920 an erection lasting more than four hours get immediate medical attention which means call 911

00:11:01.140 have them send over a bunch of nurses tom how do you know that so right so but but that's a disclaimer

00:11:06.540 that they need to put there right if that's a disclaimer they need to put that's coming from the

00:11:11.000 government i get it but for amazon to say like does jeff bezos not realize you what so dumb you go

00:11:20.820 there you're like hey we're gonna give a million dollars for inauguration and we're gonna do this and

00:11:23.760 we're gonna then you go back here where is the diplomacy here i don't know or the loyalty right

00:11:29.640 like he china loyalty from jeff bezos i don't know i don't know uh how that's being managed i don't know

00:11:36.020 i don't know how that's being managed that relationship you know what the market's going

00:11:39.960 to react like you think it's a good idea you think it's a good idea you're worth 200 something

00:11:45.400 billion dollars you thought this was a good idea i don't know i don't know i don't know how to
